Traditional CCTV is passive; it records footage for you to review after a crime has occurred. scOS is proactive. It uses our MotionX technology to distinguish between 'important activity' (like a person approaching your home) and 'unimportant motion' (like a bird or a swaying branch). When a genuine threat is detected, scOS doesn't just record—it intervenes. It uses external IoT speakers to deliver voice warnings and triggers instant lighting to deter the intruder before they can cause any harm. It’s an active security solution that stops crime instead of just filming it.

Yes, scOS is brand-agnostic and works with most wired IP cameras, including Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, and Ubiquiti. During our professional UK installation, our engineers will assess your existing cameras. We can often transform your current 'dumb' cameras into an intelligent AI system by connecting them to our scOS Intelligence Hub. This allows you to upgrade to proactive, AI-driven security without the need to replace all your existing hardware, making it a cost-effective way to get world-class protection.

scOS uses a three-layered approach. First is Presence Simulation, which mimics your home's normal activity patterns to make it look occupied when you're away. Second is MotionX detection, which identifies human threats the moment they cross your property boundary, even if they are trying to hide their face. Third is Active Intervention: if a threat is detected, the system triggers instant lights and authoritative voice warnings via external speakers. This escalating response is designed to let intruders know they've been spotted and that the property is actively monitored, causing them to leave immediately.

Your data privacy is paramount. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all your data is stored in secure UK data centres, fully compliant with GDPR. We use a hybrid processing model where the AI analysis happens locally on your Intelligence Hub, and only critical alerts are sent to our secure cloud. We never sell or share your data with third parties. You have total control over your footage, which is accessible only to you via our encrypted app. Your data stays in the UK and stays yours.

A video doorbell only monitors your front door and often only alerts you when someone is already there. scOS provides comprehensive, property-wide protection. It monitors your entire boundary and uses AI to stop criminals before they even reach your door. Unlike many doorbells that rely on Wi-Fi and can be easily jammed, scOS is a wired system for maximum reliability. While a doorbell might show you a package being stolen, scOS is designed to prevent the thief from stepping onto your property in the first place.

Whitley is a peaceful village, but its quiet nature can make it attractive for opportunistic crime, especially when residents are away. scOS Presence Simulation is designed for this exact scenario. It doesn't just use simple timers; it learns your home's internal activity patterns and replicates them, making the house look genuinely occupied. This is the most effective way to ensure your home doesn't look like an easy target while you're enjoying a weekend away or a longer holiday.

scOS uses advanced Person Recognition that focuses on behaviour and patterns rather than just facial features. It learns the 'normal' activity of your family and regular visitors. If someone is acting suspiciously—such as loitering at the boundary or trying to find a blind spot—the system recognises this as an anomaly. This is particularly useful in a village like Whitley, where you want to know if a stranger is scouting the area without being bothered by alerts for your neighbours or the postman.

scOS Director is our conversational AI that lets you ask questions about your home's security in plain English. You can ask, 'Was there anyone at the back gate today?' or 'What time did the kids get home?' It provides instant, intelligent answers based on the activity it has recorded. For Whitley residents, this provides a quick and easy way to stay informed without having to manually check hours of video footage, giving you peace of mind with just a simple question.
